Biography

Brian Wayne Transeau, 4 October 1971, Rockville, Maryland, USA. Arguably the most accomplished and recognizable of the largely anonymous trance set, Transeau made a huge mid-90s impact with releases such as Loving You More and Embracing The Sunshine for Perfecto Records. As well as being staples of European dancefloors, they also reached the UK charts. Both songs were segued together in a 40-minute blockbuster by Sasha to form the centrepiece of BTs similarly successful 1995 debut album, Ima. Afterwards, his dream house style became widely impersonated (but rarely equalled), to the evident frustration of the artist: So many people were ripping off things I was emotionally attached to without putting any of their own emotion into them. They were turning it into a formula and it was never intended to be like that. It was very emotional, altruistic, heartfelt music.
